The 2nd half

Poem: 2nd half


Once there was a man whose wrists ran dry,
Gravity was the foe of this man's blood supply.
He was wondering why,
To His Maker/Father, He began to cry,
Dying on a tree, born in a sty?
I am, the kings' King, who never tested lie...
Six to nine inches of the world stabbing at His Spirit,
O Israel, Listen to this rebuke, you need to hear it.

Finally finished

I stood in line at BestBuy from Thursday afternoon (12:30pm) until this morning, less that 20 min. ago. Effectively, I stood in line for over 14 hours alongside my brother. We were 2nd and 3rd in line, and boy, did some incredible characters show up. I was interviewed by local television networks twice. Every item I intended to purchase I did - no extras either.

So people ask...is it worth it? Was it worth spending all of Thanksgiving day in line, in the cold, without family, without relaxation?

Here's my systematic response:

1) We're having Thanksgiving today instead - had this planned in advance before we decided to even go to the store. Thus, as soon as I finish this post, I'm going to bed for awhile.

2) I was able to purchase items I would have purchased anyway with savings easily over $200.

3) I was with my brother the entire time.

4) I met a lot of crazy people.

5) I was able to read for awhile...and I ate some good McDonald's ;)

6) I'd done it 2 times in previous years, and so it wasn't something I didn't know how to do already.

7) I felt like it :)

8) My brother dragged (drug?) me along.



Hope that answers you questions. If you have any that weren't answered, be sure to drop a comment and check back periodically. I'll have answered with a comment or post within a day or so.

Peace

I'm on Thanksgiving break...at home :)

I haven't since Saturday/Sunday....but I do have a post coming up, a follow-up poem to one a week or so back....I'll have it up tomorrow or something...we'll see

Until then...ciao

The Master and the Pupil - TKD Tournament

The tournament was Saturday. It was a blast.

Currently I'm contemplating a plan that goes back a year....more prayer is needed....also for what the Lord has planned for me this coming winter and summer...if I'm still here, for "Do not boast about tomorrow, for who knows what a day may bring forth."

I'll put up some pictures or something. :)
